I wish I could tell you something that would help, but all I can do is let you know I care about what you're going through. I guess one thing that helped me in a way was realizing that he can't help it. Those times when I thought he hadn't been listening to me, he really just couldn't remember what I had said. I remembered arguments where I thought he was being unreasonable. Now I realize, he really CAN'T reason anymore. Now I try to comfort him instead of arguing. I stopped pointing out the mistakes he makes and try now to just love him the best I can. I'm sending prayers for you.

That’s where I am, too. I bite my tongue a hundred times a day because I know it’s the disease I’m mad at, not my dear husband.
